  Fun fact for non french speakers. Kimsufi sounds like "qui me suffit" which is the french for "which is enough for me".

OVH "ECO Kimsufi" offering. Now... You'll need to "refresh" regularly the page for the 4.99 EUR one (I rounded @ 5 EUR but it's 4.99) for they're in demand and often sold out. Or you write a script that monitors the page to see when they're available again. I had to wait a few days to fetch my last one but I got it. Always do : ) On OVH's website: OVH cloud / Bare metal & VPS / ECO Dedicated Servers. P.S: back in the days the "Kimsufi" (french for "qui me suffit", literally "which is enough (for me)") used to be part of OVH, then OVH spun Kimsufi out of OVH and then now... Kimsufi are back into OVH (the older Kimsufi servers are still accessed using the old Kimsufi credentials but the newer ones are using the OVH credentials again).

  If you check here, you'll see they mention them: https://eco.ovhcloud.com/fr/compare/ https://eco.ovhcloud.com/fr/compare/ But then when you click on the link you'll see the 4.99 offering and then after a split-second it's removed (because none are available atm). But really: with some patience anybody can fetch one. Or you "cheat" and you use a script to see when they're available. In my experience they're easier to fetch "when Europe sleeps" (so, say, at around 3am in France).

    Just got one. Also, you can view servers that are NOT available, and see them listed. When they become available, you can order them.

      Yes, I was able to snag one ($6.10) about an hour after I first checked, where it was originally disappearing after a split-second for me. Just a small gotcha for anyone considering migrating off another platform: I only realized after purchase the 100Mbps advertised network bandwidth, versus a $5 Lightsail's advertised ~400-500 that I'm moving over from.
      - boneitis 4y ago
        Another update for anyone seeing my parent post later on... The OVH machine I ordered seems to be less smooth, and I'm simply running into issues. I am performing the same exact steps as I do on a 0.5 GB Lightsail instance, where it works just fine. My workloads just aren't working on OVH. I have run out of patience and am going to cancel and stay with Lightsail.
